Well...plans are for a single floatation bracket for my 225 Johnson Ocean Runner.....single carbed bad boy

. I used epoxy primecoat in the bilge (final) and on the deck reapir (primer).

problem is when you prime it all the pin holes show and then the fairing compound shows up again.
I have been "refreshing" the console on the side and after 3 top coats its ready for a new windshield.
before:

now:
The hull sides have 4 coats of signature finish on them. Due to applicator error

it will be getting a 5th and final coat. It looks pretty nice but I wait till its done for the pic.
Has anyone ever painted over the factory non skid??
If so what did you use, how did you prep, and how is it holding up?
I am thinking of painting the deck to match the repair from the I/O. There are a few geloat repairs to be made but I would'nt want to grind down the non-skid and then put it back like I did on the gas tank hatch and forward locker hatch cover. Over all its in good shape.
